Division Profile

Robert-Bourassa Reservoir

Our mission
Hydro-Québec Production generates electricity to supply the domestic market and sells its excess output on wholesale markets. We also offer balancing and firming capacity services to Hydro-Québec Distribution to offset variations in wind farm output and thereby facilitate the integration of this energy source.

Our activities
Under the Act respecting the Régie de l’énergie, Hydro Québec Production is required to provide Hydro Québec Distribution with a base volume of up to 165 TWh of heritage pool electricity annually. It may also compete for contracts under Hydro Québec Distribution’s open tendering process and sells electricity on wholesale markets as well.
